Pet Peeves- whats yours??

[keylargolady100]

I will say that I agree with each and every pet peeve!
The only other one I can think of right now is the person who ends each and every sentence in a question.
Like
How are you! is ok but
We went to the movies? And we saw the movie terminator? And the robot was Arnold?......
Get what I mean. That is so annoying!

[Missiemiss]

Keylargolady - I remember well....tethered to a cord! OH MY!

This is a great thread! I have enjoyed reading it.

Or call waiting, caller I.D, three way.... and it was pulse dialing

[Doodlebug]

I didn't read everyone else's yet but mine are ...
1. when I record a tv show on DVR the last part is always cut off ... grrrrr
2. people who are talking to me on the phone while having a conversation with someone else in the house, yelling at dogs, or eating. grrrrr

[hartygirl]

OK.... in order

#1 People that walk into a building and stop! HELLO! there are people trying to enter behind you, this happens to me daily at the grocery store, bank, really anywhere I go. And it is the worst coming off of the escalator! I never had a problem with this when I lived in Minnesota, so it must be a Texas thing!!!!! I feel like I want to wear full LaCrosse gear and barrel my way everywhere I go!

#2 Whistling. Just don't do it. You dont sound ANYTHING like what you are trying to duplicate!

#3 Weakness. I come from a strong mother and am a tough cookie, don't cry baby to me, ask for help I will help you but complaining will get you nowhere fast with me! I'm here to listen and offer advise but if you are not willing to do the work you wont get any thing accomplished.


That's pretty much it, for the most part I am an easy going person and can get along with just about everyone! Not a whole lot bothers me!

[Gypsy & Me]

People who are waiting to speak rather than listening to what I'm saying.
People who can't mind their own business.
People who drag me into their drama for no reason.
The flies that are infiltrating my house this past two weeks!
When someone practically "races" you to a line in a store to get a head of you.
People who do the above when you have 2 items and they have a ton!
People who squeeze their cars down the inside of me when I'm waiting to turn when there is clearly not enough room and then glare at me because it was hard to get past! Duh, it's illegal!
People who leave their shopping cart in the space next to them rather than taking it back so I nearly drive into it.
People who just don't bother to take them back at all and more so when it's raining and then I can't find a dry one to sit Amelia in!
People who comment on how small Amelia is for her age... I'm aware of this.
People who own shops and are speaking in English till I walk in and then change mid sentence to their own language! WTH, did you just start talking about me?

Haha, I hate people that do that as well...

4. People who finish every sentence with, 'D'you know what I mean?'

Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one. Being from Nottingham I hear "D'you know what I mean?" a LOT! Omg, makes me want to scream!

3. When people can't say Uni's name. Weenie? Moonie? Winnie? Goonie? Yea, like I really named my dog "weenie"! And they insist to keep trying to say it! I've even done it like, "Ooo-neee"
4. When people ask me my nationality. I am american! That is what you asked me right, which nation that I am a citizen of?
5. If Uni is a: silky? mini? toy? teacup?
6. The term "teacup" in itself.
7. When people call me Patricia.
8. People that justify the reason there are stereotypes about them.
9. Unsupervised/misbehaving children.
10. People who leave the door to my shop open, esp when they do it coming in and again going out.

Let's leave it at 10, I don't want to look too crazy!

Okay sorry I am guilty of #3. I'd been saying it in my head as "You-Neee".

2. Cars whose normal headlights look like high beams, and blind everyone else on the street.

Someone almost killed my husband over #2 once. They were regular headlights but the truck had off road suspension so it sat high. A guy on the freeway pulled a gun on him and said he didn't like his headlights. I was home with our new born baby.

[dogbert]

Here's a small list:

1. When people who are educated say "I don't got no" It's I don't have any.
2. When people talk on their cell phone loud enough that everyone can hear...We don't care!
3. When people go to dinner with me and talk on their cell phone at the table or leave me alone while they go talk on the phone. Even if it's business I don't like it.
4. Chewing with mouth open/lip smacking.
5. Gum popping/smacking! UGH!
6. When I wait my turn at a 4 way stop only to almost get hit when someone else treats it as a stop light and follows the car in front of them through the intersection without stopping for their turn.
7. Foreign people who ignore you in a store when you say excuse me. This happened Saturday again, a man, his wife and two kids with a cart in Sam's Club. Hubby wanted to buy a tv so we were looking and they were on an isle hubby went down. I tried to follow him with the cart and they wouldn't move to the side to let me through. I said excuse me THREE times, I saw a space between the husbands back and their cart so I went for it. Of course just then the man stepped back into my cart. I heard the kids say I hit him with my cart and him say yes she hit me with her cart. So I know they can hear, understand and speak english!

Okay venting over....sorry.

Oh my goodness! How terrible. Did the guy get arrested?

I wouldn't say they bother me THAT much. That's not so much a pet peeve as a pet psychosis.

[shamrocks]

Ok these are mine in no particular order.
1.People who chew with their mouth open.
2. People that come into a store with dirty faced kids that have snot encrusted noses and the only clean part of their face is from the streaks of tears.
3. People that let their kids curse at them.
4. Stinky people.
5. When you open a door for someone and they don’t say thank you.
6. People who eat the produce in the store before paying for it.
7. People that let their kids run wild in stores.

[dinolover]

1. People that insist on asking how much you paid for everything. I am going to Europe now and everyone keeps asking how much my trip cost ughh!!
2. People that say "Oh your yorkie is not a teacup"
3. The word "swagga"
4. People that stare into your car at traffic lights.
5. People that agree with everything you say and don't have their own opinions.
6. People that talk with bluetooth head pieces (one time I thought a lady was trying to have a conversation with me so I was replying, until I realized she was on the phone)
7. People that automatically assume that all Hispanics must have dark complexions. I have pretty fair skin with light eyes, so no one every believes I am Hispanic.
8. I agree with the race card, sometimes I think the minorities are treated better than anyone.
9. People that ask "Can I ask you a question?"
10. Leaving the tooth paste uncovered
11. Scratching the car roof
12. People that can not control their children/ take them to nice restaurants.
13. People that treat me like I am 12.
14. When people at stores open a box to check its contents and then grab a new closed box and leave the one they opened there.
15. Poor Hygiene
16. People that have no drive/ motivation
17. People that complain too much about their problems, everyone knows that person that always seems to have something wrong going on in their life. We all have problems we just deal with them.
18. When people open the door with out knocking, if I closed my bedroom door it is for a reason.

That its for now, don't want to sound too crazy haha

Yes he did, this was in the day before cell phones. Hubby pulled off the freeway and went to a Circle K (Phoenix, AZ) and called the police. They were close and showed up right away. As they were taking the report from hubby the guy who pulled the gun on him pulled into the parking lot to buy something.

#14 Sooooo the closed box is promised to have what they thought the box they opened might not have had? lol

#12 Yep, I left my kids home so I could have a nice quiet dinner......

Might as well add the "you know" comment. My brother finishes everything with "You know" and I finish things with "I know" even if I don't. So between the two of us I guess we know it all! lol It's just a bad habit we really don't know sh*t. ROFL
